Starting in August 2026, BIPROGY will manage a pilot project under Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, focusing on a certification system for synthetic methane and biogas. The project will evaluate the certification of environmental value and certificate management, including issuance and retirement processes.
Multiple use cases for synthetic methane and biogas will be tested, aided by several organizations including the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan. The initiative supports Japan’s efforts to decarbonize city gas, which is essential for heat in various sectors. The challenge remains in production costs and the absence of a public certification mechanism for these fuels.
